DDH Arguing Semantics

Cerebral Brewing

American IPA - Imperial New England (INEIPA)

7.3 by scot

Purchased at Flight Bottle Shoppe. No date on can. I hope it is fresh. Pours cloudy with a finger of white foam. Meanders back to level but minimal lacing. Aroma of sweet and ripe tropical fruits. Sweet. Peach. Taste is sweet peaches. The sweetness really steps up though. Medium body with huge carbonation. Dry finish that burns the throat, lingering. Combination of the ABV, carbonation, and bitterness. The burn/bitterness from this beer is bit much for me. The hop profile is peach...read more

Hopewell Brewing Company

English Porter

8.1 by scot

Purchased at Flight Bottle Shoppe on 2021-02-11. No date on can. Assuming it was purchased fresh. Pours clear but opaque with a half-glass of tan, frothy foam. Great retention but only sporadic lacing. Aroma of chocolate, dark caramel; leaning towards toffee. Nutty with only hints of roast. Taste isn't as adventurous as the nose. Chocolate is there but subdued more toffee, nutty, and hinted roast. Finish fights off ashiness. Light end of medium body but that is helped by a huge carbona...read more

DDH Sauced In Space

Brothership Brewing

American IPA - Imperial New England (INEIPA)

8.2 by scot

Purchased at Flight Bottle Shoppe on 2021-02-11. Date on can of 2021-02-02. Pours cloudy with a finger of white foam. Thick, sheeting lacing begins as the foam meanders back to liquid level. Aroma is ripe tropical fruit and peaches. Herbal, green and resin on the backend. Sweet. Taste is very sweet that lingers. The hops are mango, peach, and herbal, once again late, similar to the aroma. There is an alcohol warmth in the finish that lingers as well. Butterscotch? Light end of big bod...read more

Saison de Lis

Perennial Artisan Ales

Saison

8.3 by scot

Purchased at Flight Bottle Shoppe on 2021-02-11. Date on can of 2021-05-31 for a best by date. Please, please don't put that type of date on it. Put the date it was canned and let me make up my mind when I think it is still good. Pours cloudy for a Saison but may just be a chill haze. An inch of pure white foam that covers. Large, softly packed bubbles go away quickly. Frothy as it recedes, leaving sporadic lacing. Aroma is herbal, spice, and floral. Light malty aroma that is simple wit...read more

Hazy Dream State

Brothership Brewing

American IPA - Imperial New England (INEIPA)

8.0 by scot

Purchased at Flight Bottle Shoppe on 2021-02-11. Date on can of 2021-02-02. Pour is about a beautiful as a NEIPA can get in the glass. Cloudy with a finger-and-a-half of white foam. Frothy thick and almost creamy. Great staying power leaving a thick, sticky lacing behind. Aroma is dank, mango, and pineapple. The dank, resinous mango is definitely big but not huge or intrusive. Taste is a bit strange in the middle. The carbonation and strong orange marmalade attack, creating a difficult ...read more

Bananagram

Hop Butcher For The World

American Imperial Stout

5.1 by scot

Poured from a can shared at Flight Bottle Shoppe on 2021-02-18. Date on can of 2021-02-17. Pours opaque with a half finger of tan foam. The aroma and taste are full of banana. If you don't love banana, you might have a tough time here. There is a roast, ash, and banana flavor that lingers in the finish, making it hard to stomach. Fortunately my main man at Flight shared a can with me prior to me purchasing a can. I appreciate him saving me five bucks....read more

Run To Daylight

American IPA - Imperial New England (INEIPA)

8.0 by scot

Poured from a can purchased at Flight Bottle Shoppe on 2021-02-04. Date on can of 2021-02-02. Pours cloudy with deep gold color, highlighted orange. Dirty white foam covers but jogs away at a fair pace. Sporadic lacing. Aroma of ripe tropical fruits. Mango and pineapple that are falling to the ground with ripe sugars. Resin, greens, and orange add complexity but are more like garnish to the strong tropics. Taste is a bit more subdued than the aroma. The ripe tropical fruit is still at th...read more

Poured from a can purchased at Flight Bottle Shoppe on 2021-02-04. Date on can of 2021-01-28. Pours cloudy with an inch of white foam to cover. Good retention but it completely dissipates. Light lacing. Aroma of mango, resin, dank, orange, and pineapple. Some sweetness. Taste doesn't diverge from the aroma. Mango, orange and pineapple are big. Resin and dank in the finish that lingers. Medium body with medium carbonation that hits late. Somewhat juicy up front before drying. The mouth hints ...read more

American India Pale Ale

8.7 by scot

Purchased at Flight Bottle Shoppe on 2021-01-28. Date on can of 2021-01-26. Pours cloudy with a huge, white head. Good retention with sticky lacing abounding. Aroma of grapefruit and pine. Those scents compete with each other, dominating the sense. Taste is sweet, grapefruit, and pine. The finish has hints of lemon and floral. Smooth finish without bitterness. The lemon and sweet stick to the palate. Light body and spritzy, lemony carbonation. This is an easy drinking beer that might ...read more

Triple Beezer

Old Irving Brewing Co.

American IPA - Imperial New England (INEIPA)

6.3 by scot

Purchased at Flight Bottle Shoppe on 2021-01-28. No date on can. Probably why I don't have many of their beers. Pours NEIPA cloudy. Huge, billowing, off-white foam covers. Great retention and thick, sticky lacing. Foam becomes rocky and creamy as it fades away. Aroma up front is mango, pineapple, pine, and dank resin. As the beer breaths these wonderful aromas meld into an overripe apple orchard. Not so much that it is apple, but the pungent smell of overripe fruit beginning to go bad. ...read more

American Imperial Stout

9.2 by scot

Purchased at Flight Bottle Shoppe on 2021-01-22. Date on can of 01/08/21. Pours opaque with a half inch of mocha brown, creamy foam that covers. Froths as it recedes leaving thick lacing behind to reminisce. Aroma is straight up chocolate cake goodness. Pecan, almond and/or walnut twerks the nose. Roasted, caramel coconut. Taste is chocolate cake richness that is balanced by roasted coconut with a brown sugar, almost German chocolate cake finish. Some alcohol burn but the flavors jump ou...read more

Double Saaz

Hop Butcher For The World

German Pilsner

8.9 by scot

Purchased at Flight Bottle Shoppe on 2021-01-21. Date on can of 2021-01-19. Pours crystal clear. Light, fluffy, white foam covers. Retention and lacing is typical of the style: almost non-existent. Aroma is initially a burst of floral, quickly become lemon and sweet cracker. Light herbal. Taste is floral and cracker up front. The middle takes on cereal, lemon, herbal and a touch of spice. The herbal and spice linger, with some lemon, creating a bitterness that builds. Light body that h...read more
